SUMMARY:Anna Daedalus\, Kerry Davis and Jon Gottshall\, Open Channels
DESCRIPTION:Anna Daedalus\, Kerry Davis and Jon Gottshall\, Open Channels \nNovember 3rd – November 26th\nArtist talk: November 20th\, 2pm \nGallery 114\n1100 NW Glisan\,\nPortland\, OR 97209\nhttps://www.gallery114pdx.com/\n(503) 243-3356 \nGrounded Glass takes as its subject a Sitka spruce swamp and the muddy matter in its tidal flow. These close views of the swamp through mud-caked glass plates challenge the mythology of landscape hierarchy\, both in terms of beauty and value; and raise mud to another level. Our mark-making on the murky glass borrows from the cliché verre process to create windows through which elements of the landscape appear in varying degrees of clarity. In dialogue with Floodplain II\, which explores urban wetlands impacted by industry\, Grounded Glass focuses on a restored swamp after 150 years as rural farmland. The project is a continuation of Palūs\, a meditation on this same swamp near the mouth of the Columbia River. Through constructions\, photography\, and time-based installations\, Palūs observes the tidal wetland’s liquid respiration as the waters rise and fall each day.\n– Anna Daedalus & Kerry Davis \nFloodplain II is a continued exploration of the Columbia Slough\, an engineered remnant of the shallow streams that once braided the land along the Columbia River as it flows past Portland. Once a highly productive habitat\, it was drained and developed\, reflecting our historic belief that wetlands were places of disease and pestilence\, and that economic activity gave it actual value. Despite a century of industrial waste and runoff\, many creatures that depend on wetland habitat have somehow survived. More recently\, reflecting our shifting awareness\, the Slough has seen some efforts at restoration. Given time and space\, nature reasserts itself. \nOpen Channels\, our collaborative exhibit\, challenges historical perspectives and asks a provocative question: how do we revitalize a wetland\, or any damaged habitat\, when we are all too often still engaged in the same activities that diminished it? How do we remake our economic life into something not hostile\, but rather sympathetic to the environment\, to our mutual benefit?\n-Jon Gottshall \n

SUMMARY:Rich Bergeman\, The Land Remembers: Photographs Inspired by the Rogue River Wars
DESCRIPTION:Rich Bergeman\, The Land Remembers: Photographs Inspired by the Rogue River Wars \nSept. 26 – Oct. 27\, 2022\nClosing Reception and Gallery Talk Thursday Oct. 27\, 1-3pm \nThe Art Gallery\nUmpqua Community College\n1140 Umpqua College Road\nRoseburg\, Oregon 97470\nwww.umpqua.edu\n800-820-5161\nOpen Mon-Fri 8am-5pm \nAn exhibit of photographs that explore the landscapes of Southern Oregon’s 1850s Rogue River Indian Wars will be on display at The Art Gallery at Umpqua Community College Sept. 27 to Oct. 26. \nTitled “The Land Remembers\,” the exhibit features more than 20 black-and-white infrared prints by Corvallis photographer Rich Bergeman\, along with his research into one of the least remembered and yet bloodiest Indian conflicts in the Oregon Territory. \nBergeman said the goal of his project was “to bring the largely forgotten war back into our collective consciousness through a reflective study of the landscapes that played host to those tragic events.” \nThe various tribes who populated the southwest corner of what is now Oregon saw their homelands suddenly invaded in 1850 following passage of the Oregon Donation Land Claim Act and the nearly simultaneous discovery of gold in the region. Settlers and miners streamed in\, leading to conflict with local tribes. Skirmishes flared up multiple times between 1851 and 1854\, eventually erupting into all-out war involving the U.S. Army. It ended with the forced removal of the Rogue Valley and South Coast tribes to reservations at Siletz and Grand Ronde in 1856 in what descendants today memorialize as Oregon’s own “Trail of Tears.” \nAn Oregonian since 1976\, Bergeman is a retired instructor of journalism and photography at Linn-Benton Community College in Albany. The 73-year-old photographer has been exhibiting his work throughout the Northwest since the 1980s. Over the past two decades he has focused primarily on portraying forgotten Northwest histories through photographs of what’s been left behind. His portfolios can be seen at richbergeman.zenfolio.com\, and in book form at blurb.com \n

I took solace in taking pictures\, but most taken during that time were ignored and overlooked. I only recently started to revisit my work of that period\, and was particularly struck with those photographs from February 9th and April 26th. \nWith one exception\, this is the first time these black and white infrared photos have been exhibited. Locations from February 9th include Junction City\, Harrisburg\, Finley Reserve\, and Benton County. Images taken on April 26th are from the Middle Fork\, Willamette area. \nLinda Devenow was born in Detroit\, Michigan and moved to Eugene\, Oregon in 2002. She returned to her great passion photography in 2018\, after attending an exhibit of infrared photographs.

SUMMARY:Rich Bergeman\, Tidewaters: Looking Back Along Oregon's Coast Range Rivers
DESCRIPTION:Rich Bergeman\, Tidewaters: Looking Back Along Oregon’s Coast Range Rivers \nOct. 14\, 2022 – Jan. 29\, 2023\nOpening Reception Friday\, Oct. 14\, from 4pm to 7pm \nPacific Maritime Heritage Center\n333 SE Bay Blvd\nNewport\, OR 97365\n541-265-7509 \nMaritime Center \n\nOpen Wed-Sun 10am-4pm \n“Tidewaters” is a series of platinum/palladium prints depicting scenes along Oregon’s major estuaries captured by Corvallis photographer Rich Bergeman in the 1990s and early 2000s. The exhibit includes maps and text panels recalling the history of Native American life and early Euro-American settlement along the tidewater regions. \nUsing 8×10” and 5×7” cameras\, Bergeman spent about 10 years exploring the lower reaches of the Columbia\, Yaquina\, Alsea\, Siuslaw and other navigable rivers draining the Oregon Coast Range\, looking for scenes that reflect the region’s early history. \nEach of the river systems was home to its own distinct Native American population that was eventually disrupted in the 1800s by increasing encroachment by Euro-Americans in pursuit of the region’s fishery and forestry resources. For a time\, beginning in 1855\, the entire Central Coast–over one million acres from Cape Lookout to the Oregon Dunes–was a Congressionally designated Indian Reservation\, but it was gradually chipped away until all that remained was the small present day tract at Siletz. \nDuring that time new towns slowly began to take shape near the mouths of the rivers; some flourished while others disappeared altogether. Among the so-called “lost cities” were Bayocean\, a Tillamook Bay resort once billed as the “Atlantic City of the West\,” and Yaquina City\, the ill-fated “San Francisco of the Oregon Territory.”\nIn keeping with the historical nature of the images\, Bergeman printed them in the traditional platinum process\, which dates back to the early years of photography in the 19th century and is known for its permanence and long tonal range. \nA book on the exhibit that expands upon the show will be available in the museum bookstore\, along with digital reprints from the show. \n

SUMMARY:Julianna Souther\, Han: The Legacy of a Divided Society
DESCRIPTION:Julianna Souther\, Han: The Legacy of a Divided Society \nSept. 26 – Oct. 28\, 2022\nReception and Gallery Talk Thursday Oct. 13 5:30pm \nThe Santiam Hall Gallery\nLinn-Benton Community College\n6500 Pacific Blvd SW\nAlbany\, Oregon 97321\nwww.linnbenton.edu\nOpen Mon-Fri 8-5pm \nIn an exhibit that combines the personal and the cultural\, Corvallis artist Julianna Souther explores her Korean heritage and what it means to be “other” in America through a collection of portraits and other artwork now on view at the South Santiam Hall Gallery on Linn-Benton Community College’s Albany campus\, 6500 Pacific Blvd. SW\, through Oct. 28\, 2022. \nA reception and gallery talk will be held Thursday\, Oct. 13 in the gallery from 5:30 to 7pm. \n“Han: the Legacy of a Divided Society” recounts her South Korean identity by examining both historical events and issues persisting today. Also featured are 14 portraits of young people\, including those in the LGBTQIA community\, who describe their experiences with discrimination. Included in the show are contemporary and historical photographs\, cyanotypes\, a video\, and a hand-made accordion-style photo book. \nSouther explained that “Han” is an complex Korean concept that reflects “the intense emotion of hatred or resentment that is part of every Korean person” because of the nation’s history. \n“The history of the people and the country of Korea includes unimaginable hardships. including the Japanese Occupation\, the Korean War\, and slavery\,” she said. “Han provides a unique channel for describing the consequent feelings\, and is perceived to be an essential part of the Korean identity.” \nBorn in 1998 in Seoul\, South Korea\, Souther was adopted into an American family at a young age. She graduated from Oregon State University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography in December 2021. Since “coming out of the fog\,” which is how she describes the realization of the adoptee reality\, Souther has created photographic works documenting both the adoptee and Asian American diasporas. \nShe was the recipient of OSU’s Kelsi Rae Ford Memorial Scholarship for two years\, and this year was awarded the College of Liberal Arts’ Outstanding Senior Award by Oregon State. Last fall\, she presented her thesis show\, “Breaking Misconceptions”\, at the Little Gallery at OSU. \n

My projects have been driven by a desire to illuminate the darkness and give voice to the voiceless. I asked participants to let me photograph those few items that they were able carry with them on their long and dangerous journey to America. I then asked the participants to write directly on the photograph about their object and why that particular item was so important that they chose it above everything else. Their stories speak to much more than the object. The participants’ additions give voice to the universal plight of all refugees. Ordinary objects become sacred objects. The luminous inner life of these ordinary things is a testament to the unspeakable anguish of a life left forever behind.\n-Jim Lommasson\, jim@lommassonpictures.com \nParticipants in Lommasson’s What We Carried projects are from Iraq\, Syria\, Armenia\, Bosnia\, Herzegovina\, Rwanda\, Sudan\, Burundi\, Congo\, Central African Republic\, Tanzania\, Mexico\, El Salvador\, and Guatemala.

Curtis’ novella Mala Noche was the subject of film-maker Gus Van Sant’s feature film. Curtis\, co-founder of the Oregon Cultural Heritage Commission\, has received the Stewart H. Holbrook Literary Legacy Award and hosted a poetry program for more than 45 years on KBOO FM. \nCwik’s work has been shown widely for almost 40 years and is included in the collections of the Portland Art Museum\, Regional Arts and Culture Commission\, and Bibliotheque Nationale\, Paris\, and been published in journals and magazines in Paris\, Madrid\, Barcelona\, Beijing\, New York\, Portland\, and Seattle.

SUMMARY:Julie Moore at LightBox Photographic Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Julie Moore\, Visions\n\nSeptember 10 – October 6\, 2022\nJulie Moore Reception: September 10th\, 4 – 7 pm \nLightBox Photographic\n1045 Marine Drive\nAstoria\, OR 97103\n503.468.0238\ninfo@lightbox-photographic.com \nLightBox Photographic Gallery celebrates a month with historical photographic processes and their use in fine art photography in September. Three photographic artists who use the alternative processes in their photographic art are featured with the opening of exhibits on Saturday\, September\, 10th\, “Visions” : an exhibit of photographs by Julie Moore\, opens in the upper gallery\, featuring both Poly-Photogravure and Enhanced Lumen prints. Julie Moore will be in the gallery for an artist reception from 4 – 7pm. \n“The images in ‘visions’ share the way I see the world\, it’s soft tenderness & extravagant beauty\, it’s agonizing loss & exquisite aging. I am often shown the overlooked aspects of life and nature.  By using these alternative processes\, I am able to meld the present with the past. – julie moore \nPoly photogravure: an alternative process that creates a positive from a photographic negative on a transparent sheet. That sheet is then contact printed onto a light sensitive plate\, inked as one would in etching and put through a press. \nChine Colleé:  is a printmaking technique in which the image is transferred onto a surface that is bonded onto a heavier support in the printing process. This allows me to print on a much more delicate surface\, such as washi paper. \nÀ  La Poupée: a historic intaglio printmaking technique for making colored prints by applying different ink colors to a single plate prior to printing. \nEnhanced Lumens: lumens are camera-less prints dating back to the 1830s when William Henry Fox Talbot placed foliage on sensitized paper and exposed it to sunlight. This created a negative print or a photogram from which positive contact prints could be made. Today\, the process is exactly the same with the addition of image manipulation using digital technology.

SUMMARY:Doremus Scudder\, Humanscapes: Old World and New  Photographs from Vienna and the American West
DESCRIPTION:Doremus Scudder\, Humanscapes: Old World and New  Photographs from Vienna and the American West \nArtist Talk on July 17th 2:30 PM\nEmerald Arts Center\n500 Main Street Springfield\, OR \nJuly 1 to August 4th 2022\nReception on July 1st 5pm to 6pm \nDot Dotson’s Gallery\n1668 Willamette Street\nEugene\, OR\n541-485-1771\n11:30 am to 5:30 pm Monday – Thursday\n(Reception only on Friday July 1st)\nhttps://www.dotdotsons.com/ \nOpen to the public \nDoremus Scudder’s aesthetic vision finds uncommon emotional and spiritual depth\, transcending the merely representational to reveal universalities that resonate within us. To him\, the function of art is to enrich\, inspire and uplift the human spirit. It is to this end that he strives through the ultimate expressiveness of black-and-white photography. \nDoremus Scudder began photographing seriously in his early twenties\, working originally with small and medium format\, eventually stepping up to\, and mastering the techniques associated with\, the larger format view camera. After moving with his wife to Vienna\, Austria to study at the renowned Vienna Academy of Music\, he has built a career as an operatic baritone\, appearing often as operatic soloist throughout Europe and the United States. In addition\, his passion for photography has developed into a flourishing second career that affords him the opportunity to travel extensively in search of images. He now actively pursues both photography and music. \nDoremus Scudder works exclusively in black-and-white\, using large-format cameras and film\, and hand-crafts silver gelatin prints in the darkroom using traditional photographic techniques. Nothing is done using digital technology. Although color photography was once a large part of his commercial work\, his personal vision has always been manifested through the photographic instrument he deems most expressive: Black-and-White. \nWithin this medium\, he uses varied subject matter\, careful organization of the subject\, and a broad and expressive palette of tonalities to create compelling images of strong form\, character and content. For Doremus\, the function of art is to enrich and uplift the human spirit through excellence and beauty: it is to this end that he strives. The photographs themselves are their own best description\, expressing their wordless world powerfully and eloquently. They are able to be appreciated on many levels\, being rich in immediate impact as well as yielding ever more profundity and detail over time. \nDoremus Scudder’s work is exhibited widely and represented in numerous galleries and private collections throughout the United States and Europe. \nDoremus can be contacted at info@DoremusScudder.com \nwww.DoremusScudder.com

SUMMARY:Rich Bergeman and Kurt Norlin\, From Fire and Light
DESCRIPTION:Rich Bergeman and Kurt Norlin\, From Fire and Light \nJune 24 through Aug. 5\, 2022\nArtists reception Friday July 15\, 5:30-8pm \nThe Rogue Gallery & Art Center\n40 S. Bartlett St.\, Medford\, OR\n541-772-8118\nwww.roguegallery.org\nOpen 10am-5pm Tuesday through Friday; 11am-3pm Saturday \nLong-time Oregon photographers Rich Bergeman and Kurt Norlin are teaming up for an exhibit at the Rogue Gallery in downtown Medford called “From Fire and Light” from June 24 to Aug. 5. \nA reception is planned for Friday\, July 15\, from 5:30 to 8pm. \nThe two photographers have been friends and colleagues for more than 30 years\, although their photographic styles have evolved in different directions over time. Both taught photography at Linn-Benton Community College in Albany\, OR\, from the 1980s until each retired about 15 years ago. \nNorlin\, a resident of Albany\, will be showing a collection of abstract black-and-white and color images created over the past five years that evoke a spiritual connection with the land. Norlin photographs with his iPhone\, skillfully employing a technique called ICM\, or intentional camera movement\, to create impressionistic images. “This has allowed me to use the camera in a fluid way to create images that have more to do with incorporating time\, movement and impressions rather than descriptive fact\,” Norlin explains. \nBergeman\, who lives in nearby Corvallis\, is showing a body of work begun during the pandemic that explores the expressionistic patterns created by clouds when photographed with an infrared camera. \n“While my so-called ‘travels’ were restricted to walking around the neighborhood\, I began to admire the high\, feathery cirrus clouds overhead\,” Bergeman recalls. “I discovered that when photographed in infrared\, I could isolate these sometimes faint patterns against a pitch-black sky and dramatize their shapes\, lines and movement.” \nPhotographer Kurt Norlin grew up in a family of artists. He earned a Master of Arts degree from Central Washington University in 1974\, and a second Masters at the University of Oregon. He has served as a photography instructor for Oregon State University\, Linn-Benton Community College and the University of Oregon Malheur Workshops\, and for several years curated the art galleries at LBCC. \nA retired instructor of photography and journalism at LBCC\, Bergeman has been exhibiting his photography throughout the Northwest since the 1980s. Originally a large-format film photographer and darkroom printer in silver and platinum\, he currently works primarily with digital infrared cameras and archival pigment printers. \n

SUMMARY:Dorothea Lange: A Visual Life\, film presented by Photography At Oregon
DESCRIPTION:Dorothea Lange: A Visual Life\, film presented by Photography At Oregon \nJune 24\nDoors open at 6:30pm;  Movie starts at 7:00pm;\nOne night showing \nNewZone Gallery\n110 E 11th Ave\nEugene\, Oregon 97401\n541-686-1240\nwww.photographyatoregon.org \nfree to the public\, donations accepted \nDorothea Lange: A Visual Life brings to life five decades of the changing face of 20th century America\, viewed through the lens of one of its most eloquent photographers. The film sets Lange’s evocative photographs and recorded conversations against contemporary interviews with family and colleagues\, creating an intimate portrait of this extraordinary and complex photographer. (46 minutes) \nHer Contribution to the democratic ideal:\nI have come to think of Lange as a photographer of democracy\, and for democracy. Her career developed when the severe economic depression of the 1930s created a political opening for expanding and deepening American democracy. Despite the miseries and fear it engendered\, the Depression created a moment of idealism\, imagination\, and unity in Americans’ hopes for their country. No photographer of the time\, perhaps no artist of the time\, did more than Lange to advance this democratic vision. Her photographs enlarged the popular understanding of who Americans were\, providing a more democratic visual representation of the nation. Lange’s America included Mormons\, Jews\, and evangelicals; farmers\, sharecroppers\, and migrant farmworkers; workers domestic and industrial\, male and female; citizens and immigrants not only black and white but also Mexican\, Filipino\, Chinese\, and Japanese\, notably the 120\,000 Japanese Americans locked in internment camps during World War II. Late in life her democratic eye reached beyond the United States\, as she photographed in Egypt\, Japan\, Indonesia\, and many other parts of the developing world. There too her focus was democratic: she photographed primarily working people through her lens of respect for their labor\, skills\, and pride. \nTaken from Lori Oden writing for IPHF (International Photography Hall of Fame)\nhttps://iphf.org/inductees/dorothea-lange/ \nPhotography At Oregon\nOur Mission is to support the area’s photography teaching programs.

SUMMARY:Man Ray – A Kultur Films movie:  Artists of the 20th Century
DESCRIPTION:Man Ray – A Kultur Films movie:  Artists of the 20th Century \nMay 27;  Doors open at 6:30pm;  Movie starts at 7:00pm; \nNewZone Gallery\n110 E 11th Ave\nEugene\, Oregon 97401\n541-686-1240\nOne night showing\nwww.photographyatoregon.org \nfree to the public\, donations accepted \nKultur Films has produced this movie and calls it the quintessential avant-garde artist of the 20th Century. It’s a kind of narrated slide show with a detailed discussion of his works through a comprehensive presentation of his art. This documentary adds a full biography\, which includes his influences and contribution to dadaist and surrealist thinking of the time. \nBorn in Philadelphia in 1890 and raised in Brooklyn\, Emmanuel Radnitsky\, later known as Man Ray\, was always determined to become an artist. While he attended a boy’s school in Brooklyn\, he educated himself with frequent visits to the local art museums\, where he studied the works of the Old Masters. He began his fifty year career as a painter and designer and soon expanded to collage\, printmaking\, photography\, object-making\, sculpture and film. \nTo earn a living while pursuing the more iconoclastic work that he loved\, he took portrait and fashion photographs\, eventually becoming the most celebrated commercial photographer in Paris. He came into his own in the 1920’s when he joined his good friend and Dadaist advocate\, Marcel Duchamp in Paris. He soon became a significant contributor to the Dada and Surrealist movements. \nMan Ray actually produced major works in a variety of media but was best known for his pioneering photography\, in particular as a renowned fashion and portrait photographer. While living in New York City\, Man Ray was influenced by the avant-garde practices of European contemporary artists and in visits to Alfred Stieglitz’s “291” art gallery. He eventually involved himself with the Dada anti-art movement and started creating objects and developed unique mechanical and photographic methods of making images. \nHis experiments with photography included rediscovering how to make “cameraless” pictures\, or photograms\, which he called rayographs. He made them by placing objects directly on light-sensitive paper\, which he exposed to light and developed. In 1922 a book of his collected rayographs\, Les Champs délicieux (“The Delightful Fields”)\, was published\, with an introduction by the influential Dada artist Tristan Tzara who admired the enigmatic quality of Man Ray’s images. In 1929\, with his lover\, photographer and model Lee Miller\, Man Ray also experimented with the technique calledsolarization\, which renders part of a photographic image negative and part positive by exposing a print or negative to a flash of light during development. He and Miller were among the first artists to use the process\, known since the 1840s\, for aesthetic purposes. \nAs mentioned above\, Man Ray also pursued fashion and portrait photography and made a virtually complete photographic record of the celebrities of Parisian cultural life during the 1920s and ’30s. Many of his photographs were published in magazines such as Harper’s Bazaar\, Vu\, and Vogue. He continued his experiments with photography through the genre of portraiture; for example\, he gave one sitter three pairs of eyes\, and in Le Violon d’Ingres (1924) he photographically superimposed sound holes\, or f holes\, onto the photograph of the back of a female nude\, making the woman’s body resemble that of a violin. He also continued to produce ready-mades. One\, a metronome with a photograph of an eye fixed to the pendulum\, was called Object to Be Destroyed (1923)—which it was by anti-Dada rioters in 1957. \n

SUMMARY:Jim Schomaker\,  Tree Skeletons – Beachie Creek Fire
DESCRIPTION:Jim Schomaker\,  Tree Skeletons – Beachie Creek Fire \nThe show runs from May 7 through May 28\, 2022\nThere will be an artist reception on Saturday\, May 7 from 3:00 to 6:00 \nElsinore Framing & Fine Art Gallery\n444 Ferry St.  SE  Salem OR  97301\n503-581-4642\nelsinoregallery@outlook.com\nElsinore hours  M-F 9:00 – 6:00\nSat. 10:00 – 5:00 \n  \nI had been photographing this area\, Elkhorn Valley/ N. Fork Rd along the Little North Santiam\nRiver\, for the last 14 years and thought it very unique and beautiful. Each year I looked forward\nto returning in the Spring\, being sure things would look a little different after the Winter rains and could capture something with a new look. \nThen came the “Beachie Creek Fire” in August 2020. It was almost two months after the fire was\nout before I could bring myself to view the burned area. Shocking devastation for miles and miles.\nI slowly started to photograph a few burned areas even as dead trees adjacent to the roads were being cut\, or were marked (red X’s) to be cut\, post burn. \nAfter returning a second time I found myself being more selective in what my images looked like\nand realized I could still see and find beauty in a perverse sort of way. As a landscape photographer\nfor 40 years that becomes ingrained in the way you see things. So I relaxed and decided to keep\nseeing and photographing this way. As you look at these images\, I’m hoping you see the beauty in\nthe photographers vision in spite of the fires devastation. \nYou will probably notice that some of the trees\, mostly Alders (whitish & grey) as well as some mosses and lichens survived due to high water content. A number of these photographs were taken across the river resulting in large near trees and much smaller background trees. \nConsidering my particular nature\, I have printed my own photographs herein. \njimschomaker@comcast.net

SUMMARY:Rich Bergeman\, More Than Meets the Eye
DESCRIPTION:Rich Bergeman\, More Than Meets the Eye \nMay 6-27\, 2022\nReception Friday May 6\, 5:30-8pm\nSlide Lecture and Discussion Saturday May 7\, 11am-12 \nCrossroads-Carnegie Art Center\n2020 Auburn Ave.\, Baker City\, OR 97814\nMon-Sat 10am-5pm\nhttps://crossroads-arts.org/\n541-523-5369 \nCorvallis photographer Rich Bergeman will exhibit selections from his “More Than Meets the Eye” portfolio at the Crossroads-Carnegie Art Center in Baker City May 6-27\, 2022. \nAn opening reception will be held during the city-wide First Friday Artwalk on May 6\, from 5:30-8pm. \nThe exhibit features 25 black-and-white photographs that explore the transformative effects of infrared light on a variety of Northwest landscapes\, including Oregon’s High Desert and Coastline\, the rugged terrain of Southwestern Oregon\, the Willamette Valley\, and Willapa Bay on Washington’s Long Beach Peninsula.\n“Over the past 30 years I’ve been learning how to see and express myself with a variety of different camera types and processes\,” Bergeman said. “Infrared\, which I took up seven years ago\, is my most recent addiction. I has a hauntingly beautiful quality that can\, if used with restraint\, transform otherwise ordinary views of the land\, sea and sky into magical scenes.” \nIn a free presentation on Saturday\, May 7\, at 11am\, Bergeman will discuss the history and contemporary applications of infrared photography\, and demonstrate techniques of creating and processing black-and-white images with digital cameras converted to capture the infrared spectrum. \nA retired instructor of photography and journalism at Linn-Benton Community College in Albany\, OR\, Bergeman has been exhibiting his photography throughout the Northwest since the 1980s. Originally a large-format film photographer and darkroom printer in silver and platinum\, he currently works primarily with digital infrared cameras and archival pigment printers. \n
